Abstract

Applications in eCommerce and Ubiquitous Computing ask for coordination of highly distributed and heterogenous data sources and services. Tuple spaces offer a data-driven coordination model, hence they may be used for this purpose. However, research on distributed tuple spaces has not resolved yet how to render tuple spaces scalable. This is partly due to their informal conception. This paper formalizes tuple spaces and introduces a new concept for achieving scalability. It generalizes existing concepts and may lead to scalability in some application areas.
